On the irreversibility of the adsorption isotherm in a closed-end pore

We present a simulation study of argon adsorption in a closed-end mesopore of uniform diameter in order to investigate the occurrence of hysteresis and propose two principal reasons for its existence: the variation in the shape and radius of curvature of the meniscus and the change in the packing of...

Zusammenfassung:We present a simulation study of argon adsorption in a closed-end mesopore of uniform diameter in order to investigate the occurrence of hysteresis and propose two principal reasons for its existence: the variation in the shape and radius of curvature of the meniscus and the change in the packing of adsorbate during adsorption and desorption. This interpretation differs from classical theories that neglect both of these factors, and therefore find that adsorption-desorption in a closed-end pore is reversible. A detailed simulation study of the effects of temperature on the microscopic behavior of the adsorbate supports the interpretation proposed here
